Designer Tip: I trimmed and scored floral cardstock to create a gatefold card that opens at the center. A beautiful framed 3-D embellishment overlaps the front for a striking result.

Instructions:

<

Place the peach flourishes/roses border cardstock face down with the border on the left side. Trim the height to 6 1/2". Set aside the trimmed piece for the inside. Now trim the length to 10”. Reserve the trimmed piece for matting the greeting. Score 2 1/2" vertically from the right side, then 2 1/2" vertically from the left side. Fold on the scored lines so the flaps meet at the center. You should have the floral border on the left side of the card front, and flourishes on the right side.

Pop out the double-framed foiled roses/butterflies die-cut from the “Beautiful Blooms” sheet. Glue on white cardstock and trim evenly with the edges. Place overlapping the center of the card front, then glue to the left front flap only. Pop out “Just for You” and mat on the reserved flourishes cardstock for the greeting, with 1/16” borders. Glue centered on the bottom of the frame. Pop out the foiled flower/butterfly pieces and foam tape them on their corresponding images as shown.

Place Gold Jewel Border Dazzles™ on the right edge of the right flap. Use 1 1/2" wide pink crepe ribbon to tie a bow. Zot™ the bow on the upper left corner of the frame as shown.

Trim the flourishes cardstock to 5”x1”. Glue centered across the inside. Pop out the pink/gold foiled frame with oval birthday greeting at the center from the Radiant Roses sheet. Glue centered on the cardstock strip. Add Gold Jewel Border Dazzles™ on top and bottom edges as shown.
